What is the difference between the Voyage and the Paperwhite?xBibliobibulix wrote: ↑24 Jul 2018, 20:05 I would highly recommend kindle because of the paper like pages and low cost of entry-level devices. The convenience of being able to highlight and comment right on the device is invaluable to me. I personally have the Voyage which is the more expensive $250 model but there is the paperwhite that is very popular and is only $99 (plus you can often get it on sale or get a refurbished one for less). Kindle's can read pdf and mobi and I would recommend the software Calibre which can help you organize your ebook library and also convert files to different formats for different devices.

Thanks! I think I'm more convinced now of buying a Kindle than I was before.Book Bear wrote: ↑28 Jul 2018, 09:53 Buying a Kindle e-reader was one of the best things I ever did. I can download free books or sign up to Kindle Unlimited and get a wider range of free books. I read more. I read more of a variety of books. I don't have 1000s of paper copies of books clogging up my hallway. I also use Calibre to convert other literature to a mobi file and read everything else on it too. I haven't had an experience of the other e-readers but I'm very happy with the basic Kindle. This is my second one. The first one lasted six years.

I think I would be leaning more to the non-glare Kindles. I thought the Kindle Fire would include the non-glare. I guess we can't have it all. It would be cool if they add it as an on/off function.ladycatsinger wrote: ↑29 Jul 2018, 06:48 I have 2 Kindles: the original e-reader (called the Kindle Keyboard) that I have had for years, and a Kindle FireHD7 that I bought 4 or 5 years ago. While I still read physical books, when I am out and about I prefer my Kindle. It is light, fits in my purse and I can have my whole library at my fingertips. This is really important for me since I tend to read several books at once, depending on what I am in the mood for at the present time. That would be really inconvenient having to carry a stack of books with me. If you only want to use it to read books and magazines, get the regular Kindle, but if you want to be able to access the Internet, play games and listen to music, go for the Fire. I just wish they would make a Kindle Fire with a non-glare screen. That is one advantage the regular Kindle has over the Fire.
